ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This is part two of our conversation with Marten Rauschenberg, Managing Director of the Asia Berlin Forum, who leads the organization's annual Summit connecting Berlin's startup ecosystem to Asia's. If you haven't heard part one, start there for his path from paramedic to founder of five companies in Shanghai, and what AsiaBerlin does today. In this half, Marten makes the case that the real risk in AI isn't the technology itself, it's how much of the capital and compute behind it ends up concentrated in a few hands, and argues for open source and shared public infrastructure, like quantum computing access, as a counterweight. The conversation also covers how that concentration squares with the political climate in both Germany and the U.S., and what Marten is looking forward to at this November's AsiaBerlin Summit. A case for curiosity as the sharpest tool any of us has left.
